The device to be tested is checked for conformity to the documentation. The purpose of the type test is to verify that the UV fluence delivered by the device under test meets a reduction equivalent fluence of 400 J/m2 at the end of the lamp life, at the specified flow rates and transmittance values.
Parameters to be changed during the test are the flow rate of the water and the UV transmittance of the water for the test of UV bactericidal treatment devices and the flow rate, the transmittance and the lamp-output, for the test of UV disinfection devices.
